How easy is it to self-publish a book?
Writing a book can be a work of love or frustration, but when you finish that last chapter and are ready to publish, the next steps can be grueling if you've never done it before. I just went through this process for the first time and came to several conclusions:
- If taken in order, the steps to self-publishing are easy and take very little time. If the order is unknown, then it's quite the opposite.
- The biggest decision to make is whether to keep publishing simple enough that it leaves plenty of time to write more books.
- There are thousands of fun, easy ways to market a self-published book successfully (that includes marketing it to a publisher if desired).
If you have self-published before, I want to hear about your experience! I'm putting together a self-publishing step-by-step guide and you may help others by sharing your feedback on companies and techniques you've used, as well as pitfalls we should all try to avoid.
